Engineering Note
The VST-QU-SMA000202-18G is a 0 dB SMA cryogenic fixed attenuator for low-temperature RF systems that require minimal signal reduction while maintaining a controlled 50 Ω path. It supports DC–18 GHz operation with a 2 W power rating, ±0.3 dB attenuation tolerance, and VSWR 1.35:1 max. This inline attenuator is suited to cryogenic RF systems, quantum computing applications, dilution refrigerator signal chains, and other microwave measurement setups where stable interconnect behavior is required.
